Suitable Services

Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) regenerator circuit - temperatures 680–750°C, sulphur + catalyst dust

Catalytic reformer outlet manifolds - temperatures 500–550°C, H₂-rich atmosphere

Sulphur plant Claus converter outlet - temperatures 300–600°C, H₂S + SO₂ + liquid sulphur

Ethylene cracker quench circuit valves - pyrolysis gas at 800–1,000°C quenched to 400°C

Not Suitable For

Cryogenic or low-temperature service - brittle below −10°C

Aqueous chloride service - austenitic SS with high Ni/Cr can suffer SCC under stress and chlorides

Standard steam or water service - overspecified and expensive; A216 WCB is adequate

Valve Body Applications

FCC regenerator valves - slide valves, plug valves, and transfer line valves

Fired heater outlet valve bodies for crude, vacuum, and thermal cracking services

Reformer outlet manifold and header valves (very high-temperature H₂ service)

Sulphur recovery unit (SRU) Claus plant high-temperature air and gas valves

Trim Applications

Seat rings and discs for extreme-temperature globe and gate valves

Stem material for very high-temperature valve applications
